The main problem I have with the idea of a newbie using any non-stable release, weather it be alpha, beta, or a release canidate, is that it isn't completely stable. Microsoft has enought problems with theire stable releases (i.e. Windows 9x, 2kx, ME, XP, NT), that it is frustrating. If you start mucking around with something not stable, then the frustration level can raise rather fast. If you become too frustrated, then you may give up, and not return. That can be the biggest drawback to it, and the main reason I object to the idea. You don't need Linux, and I don't need a phone. Both are wants, not needs, and something we can do without. But do we really want to be without? And besides, isn't a command line a more truer form of using a computer, than say a mouse in a GUI? Linux is fun, and so is any number of other things. Linux can also be a chore, work, and a tool. You can try downloading, and installing, Gentoo. That distro is not quiet a Linux From Scratch, but pretty close to it. Not only is it fun, for being able to peer inside the workings of Linux, but it is a great learning tool as well. What is the fun of just using a regular XBox to play games with? Mdk 9.2 has enought to keep most people exploring it for a long while. Mike (a.k.a. AWEV) __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[newbie] Sound Server Fatal Error
Hello all, I'm getting a sporadic error that reads: Sound Server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting. Also, my mixer settings are never restored. I'm using mdk10rc with kernel 2.6.2-3 --Marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I would add that problems with rc and beta versions should be taken to the cooker lists, and no newbie should be using an rc or beta version. on the cooker list you will find a number of these and the solution at this time is to wait until monday, or try to change the sound configuration in MCC.

I'm 13 years old and this happens to be one of my hobbies. Notice I post a lot with my various problems. It's because I fiddle around, break things, then fix them. Just something I like to do. Only on this laptop one hard drive has gone defunct(I swear that wasn't my fault =)), I've reinstalled like something like 6 times, and Windows 3 or 4, and I accidentaly formatted my hard drive once too. I've been told that there's a way to fix everything in Linux...quite the opposite of Windows, without expensive software and tools. I'm just here to learn.

I need a robust workstation so I don't use beta software and I don't like to fiddle. If everybody was like me how would developers find beta testers to test their software.

[newbie] sound server
A message keeps popping up telling me the sound server has been suspended but I was still getting sounds. Today: I get: Error while initializing sound driver. device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such file or directory) The sound server will continue using the null output device. xmms won't recognize the URL I entered yesterday to stream a radio station - hitting the play button opens the files list - I choose one (MP3) hit ok, but it doesn't show in the xmms window and nothing will play. Realplayer says 'cannot open audio device another application may be using it' The first message has been occurring over the last few days - the rest just this am after the power went down and the UPS didn't give me any time to shut down. Did the file system integrity check - everything started ok except sound. I'm lost. Where do I start?? Thanks, Curt Yesterday's email problem was resolved by my ISP - they entered the domain name incorrectly! At least I think it's resolved... no email from newbie list so far (since 1600 hrs GMT - when things were fixed) -- Registered Linux User #299730 Registered Machine #2046 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~60.51518 N, 150.79705 W*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
